no big deal but...

Gosh, we were delighted to have Josie Long in the audience a few days ago.  We’re HUGE fans of Josie’s work and we're over the moon that she enjoyed the show. 

Josie’s show Cara Josephine is on at The Stand at 8.40pm every day and is an absolute must see.

I saw an amazing show today called So It Goes, at the underbelly everyday at 5.30pm. I can't recommend it enough #soitgoes

We're featured in today's Family section of The Guardian!

Laura Barnett came to meet Hannah at our "ramshackle East London rehearsal space" (makes us sound so cool...) a few weeks ago to talk about the creative process and personal experience behind the show.

It's a lovely write-up, which you can read in full here.

So It Goes continues today, 5.30pm at Underbelly, Cowgate.

Five Stars in The Times & Four Stars in The Scotsman

Big day yesterday!  We got a Four Star review in The Scotsman.

Susan Mansfield called the show "a near perfect marriage of form and subject and a powerful expression of what happens in those moments when words fail us."

Read the full review here.

Then things got even better, with a Five Star review in The Times!

Chief Theatre Critic Dominic Maxwell had already tweeted that So It Goes was his favourite show of the Edinburgh Fringe so far and in today's paper he writes:

"I've never seen a depiction of grief which is as deft, daring, amusing and moving as this one."

Full review here.

Meanwhile, Fest's Theatre Editor Matt Trueman saw the show yesterday and tweeted:

Another year, another show about a dead father that's left me a bawling mess. So It Goes at Underbelly is a beautiful little thing.

I'm off to have a little cry now.

We celebrated with a trip to see No Fit State in their very own big top tent.  It was mind-blowingly brilliant and we can't recommend it highly enough!

So It Goes is back today, 5.30pm at Underbelly, Cowgate. 

A Tweet From The Times

The Times' Chief Theatre Critic Dominic Maxwell came to see the show yesterday and tweeted that it was his favourite show of the Edinburgh Fringe so far!

Five Stars from Three Weeks

Morning all.  We had a lovely review from Three Weeks published yesterday - Five Stars!

"I simply adored ‘So It Goes'.  It’s a wonderfully inventive and moving show about grief, and how hard it is to talk about a loved one who has died... A profoundly affecting experience: just lovely." 

Read the full review here.

Join us at 5.30pm at Underbelly, Cowgate for today's show.

#SoItGoes was one of the most touching & heartfelt shows I have ever seen. I laughed & cried (at the same time) Simply wonderful. Thank you.

First play at #edfringe2014 that left the critic in serious need of Kleenex. Nice work #soitgoes @FollowTheCow!
